I'm thinking my original owner decided to save himself some cash when he installed this rear sway bar. I'm not sure if I should be thankful that he bothered to reinforce the trunk or pissed that he drilled holes to bolt some plates in.
Isn't it bad (like poor handling) to run a rear sway bar without a front? haven't I seen people recommend the opposite (a front and no rear)? There is no front bar, so I'm thinking I may just pull this whole thing off. |

that rear sway bar set up looks good to me. the bushings are worn and loose but they are common. autozone sells red urethane replacememnts
i do not recommend running a rear with no front unless you have some bigger front torsions. this aint no parrot job here sonny. soft front and stiff rear is a tragedy waiting to happen. I try to help when I can and my primary concern is for your safety. |
